  • What's a PIF? Pay it Forward - I'm giving this away to a winner.
  • Who can enter? Anyone whose username I recognize. If you're seeing this but haven't interacted with this community before I'll probably just pass your name over. No offense, but this is a unique aftershave and I want it to go to someone who will appreciate it.
  • Why is this being done on Lemmy/PieFed instead of Discord/Reddit? - I prefer not to use Reddit if I don't have to. I won't crosspost it there because it seems in bad taste. I'll crosspost this on Discord, though, because it's a chill bunch there.
  • What is Lemmy/PieFed? Lemmy started as a Reddit alternative, and PieFed started as a Lemmy alternative. Lemmy is the OG, and PieFed is the new kid in town. I can't make a decision for you on which to join, but my personal preference these days is PieFed (though all of the SOTD posts are still made on Lemmy. Either way, make an account on either one (or both) and subscribe to wetshaving and interact from there.

This is a used aftershave, and I think someone along the lines must have added more cooling agent than the default. All or most CL aftershaves have a little bit of menthol, but this one hits way too hard for me.

To enter, just leave a comment here to the tune of "I'm in".

CONUS only, unfortunately. Alcohol and whatnot. If you want to enter and have me ship it to a re-shipper, I have no qualms with that.

The PIF will close in roughly 2 or 3 days, and I'll ship it out in the next week or two depending on work :-)

Fedibot not in due to shipping. Weinstrasse is an excellent scent! Very nice PIF

Bummer, I guess that makes sense you can't even send it to your US address -- mailing alcohol still comes with restrictions that everyone ignores even within the US!

Not in as I'm over the pond

Thanks for the PIF! I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic, though ๐Ÿ˜ญ
